As the Catholic Health Corporation of Manitoba and its 14 Communities of Service gather around a common table to share and optimize their resources with a view of better meeting the needs of their clients, CHCM is pleased to offer you
a new electronic resource:

Luminescence

Learn more about the Corporation’s inspiring projects and those of its Communities of Service, upcoming events, success stories, and the values at the heart of the CHCM family and part of the legacy left to us by our Sister leader predecessors: compassion, solidarity, serving others and celebrating life.

In each edition, CHCM also invites you to reflect on a given topic with a focus on compassion. Today’s newsletter explores loneliness, a source of suffering in our world. Through a series of real life examples, you will see how CHCM and its Communities of Service reach out to others, extending love and compassion to alleviate loneliness.

With warm regards,

The CHCM team

“The time volunteers spend with the persons supported by St.Amant and the special connections they create, which are different from what they might have with their families or staff, are invaluable. It’s lovely to see. It helps us combat the loneliness felt by our persons supported by St.Amant, loneliness that can really bring them down, and it creates a culture in which people put themselves in their place and think about what they are going through. That puts them front and centre.”

“I moved into Morberg House because I had nowhere else to go at that time. They gave me food and a roof over my head. I was able to stabilize myself mentally and see a family doctor for a psychiatric assessment and adapted assistance. Today, my situation is stable. I have an apartment and a cellphone, and I pay my own bills.”
